Under the Boardwalk

No one would say Village View reminds them of the Jersey shore, except me of course. I happened to step out on my balcony today and behold there was the boardwalk.


Thanks to Local Law 11 Village View is doing required repairs to our facade, and many of you are wondering why. The truth is our co-op is approaching it's 50th birthday, and the cracks and wrinkles that come with age have come to the attention of the City of New York. Oil of Olay doesn't currently make a product for buildings so we are using Xinos contractors instead. We need to keep two things in mind. One is that New York continually updates the requirements we need to comply with. An example is that additional white fire hose box you've seen in the lobby recently. The second is that new damage will occur over time. This means that our next cycle for Local Law 11 five years from now will likely result in more repairs.We all know it takes a lot of work to remain beautiful, and we don't want the passersby on the boardwalk to see our cracks.
Looks like Xinos missed one.
